Lung tissue biomechanics imaged with synchrotron phase contrast microtomography in live rats

Abstract The magnitude and distribution of strain imposed on the peripheral airspaces by mechanical ventilation at the microscopic level and the consequent deformations are unknown despite their importance for understanding the mechanisms occurring at the onset of ventilator-induced lung injury.
